第17周 洗衣服

荧屏情景：

星期五 洗衣间聊天 片段选自《生活大爆炸》第2季第1集 The Big Bang Theory S02E01 04:40--05:55

Penny: Hi.
佩妮：嗨。
Sheldon: Oh, hi, Penny. Yeah, FY1, the hot water is inadequate on Machine 2, so colors only. Four is still releasing the fabric softener too early in the cycle. So I'd avoid using that for your delicates.
谢尔丹：哦，你好，佩妮。对了，跟你说一声，2号机器热水不够，所以只能洗带颜色的。4号在工作循环中还是会过早释放织物柔软剂，所以对于你那样的衣服换成我会尽量不用它们的。
Penny: Thanks.
佩妮：谢谢。
Sheldon: Well, good Lord... Why don't you just take your clothes down to the river and beat them with a rock?
谢尔丹：哦，上帝啊……你怎么不直接把衣服拿去河边放在一块石头上用棒子敲一阵算了。
Penny: Sheldon, may I ask you a question?
佩妮：谢尔丹，能问你个问题吗？
Sheldon: I would prefer that you not, but I won't go so far as to forbid it.
谢尔丹：我更希望你不要问。但我总不会不许你说话。
Penny: All right, I heard "yes," so... Okay, here's my question: Has Leonard ever dated, you know, a regular girl?
佩妮：好的，我就当你同意了。那么……好了，我的问题是：伦纳德有没有跟正常女孩约会过？
Sheldon: Well, I assume you're not referring to digestive regularity. Because I've come to learn that such inquiries are inappropriate.
谢尔丹：我猜你指的不是消化功能正常吧？否则这问题可有点不厚道了。
Penny: No, I meant has he ever been involved with someone who wasn't a brainiac?
佩妮：不，我是说，他有没有和不是天才的人有过交往？
Sheldon: Oh! Well, a few years ago... he did go out with a woman who had a Ph.D. in French literature.
谢尔丹：哦，几年前吧……他确实跟一个读法国文学的博士来往过。
Penny: How is that not a brainiac?
佩妮：那还不叫聪明吗？
Sheldon: Well, for one thing, she was French. For another, it was literature.
谢尔丹：其一，她本来就是法国人。其二，那可是文学。
